The wine region of Moldavie
Ancestral vineyard with identity grapes. Fetească Neagră, great Moldovan red reference: deep with notes of ripe plum, black cherry, spice and tobacco, melted tannins. Lighter, more floral Rară Neagră (Băbească). Dense tinctorial Saperavi.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
